Fine, with some great moments however it really suffers from reading it straight after reading The Last Colony. I can't justify giving it 2 stars because it's nor bad, it's just mostly pointless.

It's an interquel that completely overlaps The Last Colony to a fault. The whole book would have been significantly better if it had been cut down a bit and just folded into The Last Colony as another POV strand.


Also no one, particularly the otherwise worldly intelligent teenager, points out the boyfriend is a self involved pretentious prat. I assume the point is she's 16 or so and doesn't notice it butr really someone should.
